Abstract

The subject security has wide coverage and it is growing with every passing day. As civilization progressed from Agrarian to semi-industrialization, advanced industrialization and finally to present ICT (Information and Communication Technology) age, concerns for security are increasingly taking in all objects from physical to digital. It augmented apprehensions from losing material wealth to most abstract entities like wealth of knowledge in digital form. Today’s technology allows wired and wireless access to tangible and intangible resource-built ups (material to digital), digitally, and steal the same if need arises. The riddle is to defend our own resources from the rapacious hand of ubiquitous computing and communicating technology evolved by us. The art and science of hiding and securing precious resources from possible predators in physical or digital forms make it complex and challenging. The enigma remains in the fact that predator uses same technology and at times also makes rule that prevails over others.
